BOVI SHIELD GOLD FP 5+L5 HB

Description

INDICATIONS: Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 L5 HB is for vaccination of healthy cows and heifers prior to breeding to prevent persistently infected calves caused by BVD Types 1 and 2; and as an aid in preventing abortion caused by infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR, bovine herpesvirus Type 1) virus; fetal infection caused by BVD Types 1 and 2; respiratory disease caused by IBR, BVD Types 1 and 2, parainfluenza3 (PI3), and bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV); BVD Type 2 testicular infection; and leptospirosis caused by Leptospira canicola, L. grippotyphosa, L. hardjo, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, and L. pomona.
A 12-month duration of immunity has been demonstrated against IBR-induced abortion and persistently infected calves caused by BVD Types 1 and 2. In addition, Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 L5 HB is especially recommended to prevent establishment of L. hardjo in the kidney, thus shedding in the urine, for at least 12 months. Vaccination with this product also prevents establishment of L. hardjo in the genital tract and aids in preventing infection of the fetus.
Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 L5 HB may be administered to pregnant cattle provided they were vaccinated, according to label directions, with any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP vaccine within the past 12 months. Bovi-Shield GOLD FP 5 L5 HB may also be administered to calves nursing pregnant cows provided their dams were vaccinated within the past 12 months as described above. To help ensure safety in pregnant cattle, heifers must receive at least 2 doses of any Bovi-Shield GOLD FP or PregGuard GOLD FP product with the second dose administered at least 30 days prebreeding.
